Seattle Seahawks: Sorry John Schneider, you can’t keep everybody
Maybe a few more returners
It’s not a huge list but keeping cornerbacks Reed, and Sidney Jones is probably a good idea, although neither is a classic NFL shutdown corner. But the duo works well as the Seahawks CB2 and nickel. Tight end Will Dissly is another good candidate to re-sign because of his familiarity with the offense and incredible work ethic.

A few more unrestricted free agents are in the “it would be nice to have them but at a reasonable cost” category. Bryan Mone showed he could be a valuable substitute on the defensive interior. Additionally, when called upon, safety Ryan Neal has been an outstanding replacement when injuries hit the secondary.
Again Schneider should be thinking upgrade, not status quo. He has to go out and get a shutdown corner. Just shoring up that one position improves several others, such as the pass rush and all the incredible things safety Jamal Adams can do when he’s not stuck in deep coverage.
Also, Wilson deserves a set of top-tier bookend tackles to keep him upright. Finally, a center that makes solid line calls and can keep the middle from collapsing in on Russ is needed. With enough time in the pocket, RW3 can work miracles.

Do you think the Seattle Seahawks should sign all their internal free agents?
